German Outlets Publish New Daily Horoscopes, Pairing Them With Science Caveats

Publishers frame the content as entertainment, citing polling plus research that finds astrologers no better than chance.

Overview

  • Major sites including TAG24, Augsburger Allgemeine, MOPO, BILD and DerWesten posted free sign‑by‑sign horoscopes for September 24–25, covering love, career and well‑being.
  • Augsburger Allgemeine added daily‑updated video horoscopes on individual sign pages, while TAG24 published both today’s guidance and a preview for September 25.
  • DerWesten extended the format with an October 2025 feature listing three “luck days” per zodiac sign, signaling more forward‑looking content.
  • Editors prominently caution that astrology lacks empirical support, frequently referencing a 2021 YouGov survey showing broad interest but divided belief in zodiac influence.
  • Coverage repeatedly cites a Clearer Thinking study led by Spencer Greenberg and André Ferretti in which 152 astrologers matched personalities to signs at chance levels, with none exceeding five correct out of twelve.
